This week on WPblab Bridget Willard & Jason Tucker speak with Sé Reed of Sé Reed Media about how small businesses can use WordPress. There is much ranting and raving about the difficulties of getting small businesses to choose WordPress over companies like Wix and Squarespace. Sé shares her perspective on educating new users to WordPress and her quest for making the entry level of self hosted WordPress easier for small businesses.

I have a lot of WP implementer friends who are too daunted by WordCamps

I have been working on something for the beginners in my paused Saturday Schools.

who said WordCamps are supposed to be for beginners? isn’t it supposed to be a spectrum novice to advanced?

@kevinwhoffman yeah, true. It’s easy for those immersed in the tech to not realized there are those who have never been exposed to it.
-
@kevinwhoffman true

I don’t think it’s because they are too aware of Woo and other stuff. I think it’s because they just don’t know about WordPress period.
-
just updating the Readme to indicate the latest version of WP it’s compatible with would keep it updated

update the Readme!

it was 11 lines of code.
